The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

"Jet propulsion engine?

"Yes, fighters capable of high-speed flight"

When I said it, Mr. Bell in human form grabbed a glass of orange juice on the table.

It is an outdoor rest stop by the east exit of the hangar, Koyama with Willidis Mansion. Prototype helicopter number five - a tandem-style double-seated prototype helicopter flying from the parking lot - goes on a test flight under the control of an SS pilot.

Today is the last day of summer vacation. I could steer a helicopter if I had a gap, too, and manipulate it quite a bit.... Well, that karaki is because the mounted copy core is assisting me with the maneuver.

It should be noted that Marcus and Early have also shown interest in helicopter maneuvering, and now they train to fly on Prototypes III and IV while I'm down. Thanks to core assistance, the first flight was better than mine, at all.... Well, it was mostly complicated manoeuvres because I didn't have the image of flying yet.

"Experience will make us both good pilots."

"More than that..."

When Mr. Bell drank the juice, one of the SS maids he had refrained from - Verde because his hair was green - poured a replacement.

"What's a fighter?

"I'm talking about a plane that fought in the air."

Me too, take a sip of juice and dampen my lips.

"In the world I was in, military aircraft were flying, and if it was a war, it was a battle of dongs."

"Well, so?

"In this world, there is still no such thing as an aircraft, but on second thought, there is one that flies through the air. For example, a flying dragon, for example, a griffon, for example -"

"Oh, even if I don't give you a name, I know more about the creatures of this world than you do."

"So I really think we should be developing more about flying things. There's a threat from the sky, but anti-aircraft weapons are too crude."

A single flying dragon just flew into the human living area, causing a huge commotion. Even in the ranks indicating a monster threat, Fei Long has A to B and Griffon has C.

When it comes to projectile weapons, bows and arrows and stones are still the main ones. If the opponent is also a flying dragon, the wizard often hits an interception, but the more distance the magic, the less powerful it becomes. Then it is difficult to say that it is a decisive means of defence. We need some ideas, like targeting where we came down near the ground on purpose.

"I mean, we don't have the means to slap our flying enemies before we approach settlements and strongholds. But if you can fight at high altitudes, you can repel them before they damage you."

"I see."

Mr. Bell broke up with him.

"Demons and angels can mostly fly in the air, but humans don't have it. If you often have a flying dragon or griffon, you'll have to ride it."

But it's almost impossible to keep a flying dragon.

"We're talking about a race we're working on, right?

"Do you think it's going to spread in the usual country?

"... that's hard"

Mr. Bell nodded.

Griffon is less difficult to keep than Fei Long, but he can't face Fei Long. Circumstances around here would have caused what should also be called an air cavalry for anti-aircraft purposes not to develop. Minority operations to the extent of a decree at best.

"That's why we need a weapon that we can handle when the Feilongs fly in. This Willidis is a lost forest that holds back ground entry, but it's defenseless from the sky."

"Is that really all?

Mr. Bell looked me in the eye.

"Are you trying to build that fighter just to protect this place?

"... it is true that it is against the Fei Long. But to tell you the truth, I'm on guard for the Great Empire."

"I knew it."

Having enjoyed a drink all the way, Mr. Bell went back from being a human to being a black cat. Jump up to the table.

"I stopped the invasion once, but if the Union doesn't do its job, they'll come to this country again sooner or later"

I blew it all together with the sweeping magic of light, but I don't expect that to work every time.

In fact, when I fought as a hero of the Union, I was wary of sweeping magic and subdivided my troops, or countered. It can't be a trump card when it's countered because you can't shoot without a curtain because it consumes magic power, that is, more fuel than bad.

Well, still, I was magically unobtrusive.

"I hope it doesn't come, but I haven't prepared anything since it came, it doesn't work"

"Oh."

Mr. Bell stretched out.

"But that's what kingdoms do, isn't it?

"I wish I could be in the hands of the kingdom, but I can't, as a matter of reality. Right?

I'm not going to offer you all my magic or technology. To King Eman, Early's father, and to Jarzy, the next king. Show or give one end of the force, but I won't do it all. Because I have trouble getting badly ignited by ambition with mighty power.

Defeating the Great Empire and dominating the continent instead is an obstacle to the realization of my laid-back life.

"Hey, Jin, you know what? It's a sword of all blades."

Mr Bell said.

"It is good that you prepare your own weapons for the battle against the Empire, but the monopoly of power calls for jealousy, hostility, and fear. Even if you publicly proclaim relaxation. That's not necessarily what the whole neighborhood thinks."

"Oh, I'm going to understand, Mr. Bell"

The back of my chest hurts.

Oh, even if I know. I was betrayed once. To a Union that feared my power. I'm sorry about those two dances.

Last time, he magically doubled and failed as a result. That's why I'm going to do it with another hand this time. The first step in this is fighter development.

At the same time, he cares about me, and I appreciated Mr. Bell's concern.
